It's just sad it looks the way it does today. It's not absolutely horrible, just soft and has odd lines / proportions, and certainly isn't the looker the last outgoing model was.
OP, nice pict and side profile is the best. Just ain't my cup of tea.

Thanks.
And yes, I know that this car isn't for everyone, (It's my Dad's... I'm 20 and wouldn't personally drive an SL...) but I do think that behind the wheel, it's one of the most comfortable GT cars I've ever been in... and it drives like a dream (and FAST) in a straight line.
I'm definitely ready to take the heat for people not liking the car; its definitely controversial. Maybe because it's my Dad's... but I like the looks, and I know that I'm not the only one!
